6 Months to go until Christmas ... scary i know.

Hello Everyone :)

Yes you read that right, there are only 6 more months to go until Christmas day. Sorry if i have scared any of you lol. I absolutely love Christmas everything about it really. Well to be honest i told a little white lie there. I am not a big fan of the whole shopping bit of it.

You ever watched the tv show Bridezillas where they get all stressed out about there big wedding day and everything has to be perfect. Well of course your big day has to be perfect but these women go over the top with it all.

Well getting back to the point, all i seem to see every year around Christmas time is what i call christmas-zillas. Parents wanting to have there perfect family Christmas that they become rude. You all know what im on about the kind of people who pretend they don't see you and push past you in the supermarket. Or the type of people who jump the queue.
People rushing around everywhere or everywhere you go you cant even buy a loaf of bread as everywhere has sold out of bread ?? come on guys it isn't the end of the world it is just one day shops will be open again on boxing day.

Then you have got Facebook !! people posting all over Facebook how much money they have spent or my child has more presents than yours kind of people. All that matters to me is the family time and seeing my little girls face light up on Christmas morning no matter how many gifts she has or how much money has been spent.

Now back to the good points:

1) Hot chocolate, Hot water bottle, Pj's, Slippers and a good old family film snuggled on the couch.
2) Family time
3) Your child's/Children's face on Christmas morning seeing what Santa has brought them
4) Christmas tree with all the lights and tinsel
5) Christmas songs
6) Snowball fights, Snowmen and Snow angels
7) presents

I'm quiet sure there are alot more but too many to write i just love Christmas.

With only 6 more months to go when is the right time to start buying for the big day. Would now be the right time. Since having my daughter all i have said every year is i will start in January but yes you guessed right that never seems to happen. I always seem to be the last minute type. You know a week before rushing around, i am not too sure how it happens it just does. I certainly don't plan it, it just seems to work out like that.

So there you have it. My thoughts on Christmas and just a little reminder to you all only 6 months to go :) Not long is it lol.

Who am I ???

Hello Everyone. 

My name Is Natalie and i am a stay at home mum. I have a fiancée who i have been with for 6 years. He is also my 5 year old daughters daddy :) 

So .....

who am i ? 

what brings me to blogger today ? 

why has it taken me so long to start a blog ?

so i am a stay at home mum which i love. My partner goes out to work. I personally don't think i can work. The reasons why you may ask is i suffer from chronic back and leg pains, depression and anxiety which puts me back from going back to work. Also i really don't see the point in going back to work, working part time as i would have to pick my daughter up from school just wouldn't be enough money to live off and if i was to go back to work full time my wages would be pretty much paying for child care costs. I dont live near my family so can not ask them to baby sit either, so really i am in a no win situation. 

Now dont get me wrong i am not saying its a bad thing when mums go back to work. Everyone is different and living in different situations. 

I have heard a lot of good things about blogger and think its great its free to use :) 

I think it has taken me so long to start writing a blog from maybe fears no one would read it or what could i possibly write about. I am now facing one of my fears lol. You maybe sitting there thinking its only a blog stop being so silly, but i think that comes from my anxiety. 

Now that you know who i am and what my back ground is, it is now time for me to pluck up the courage and start being a stay at home mummy blogger :) 

I am not to sure yet what i will be writing about but what i do know is i want this to be a personal online journey of my life. 

I would like it to be my personal thoughts and what it is like being a stay at home mummy living with depression and anxiety. 

I hope you enjoy my blog and thanks for reading.
